WK of 21 December - WISH Walking/Running Club

[postesf]

Good Day all! My SIL and I got in 12 miles on Saturday. The last 6 were slower than the frist 6, but overall pace was 15:39. It's less than 16 mpm so I'll take it! I took my first ice bath. Not too bad w/ a towel and some hot chocolate. I was tired in the afternoon and had planned on a nap, but went to see Beverly Hills Chiuahua instead. (I'm sure I spelled that wrong!) My only issues are my feet, but they are always an issue. I'm glad it's over and I'm in official taper now! That's the first time I've been able to say that! lol!

Jackie...Sorry to hear about your dog.

Goofy...Welcome!

Jeff...Score on the crocs! WOW! We have and outlet here, but the deals are not even close to those.

Hope everyone has a good Monday!

Catching up from last week..

Jeff congrats on teh PR!

Jackie - COngrats ont eh 20-miler. That's way too much time to think when you had such decisions to make. I am so sorry about mystic. SHe's happy and not suffering now, though. While it was the toughest decision fro you, it was liekly the best for her.

Weather took my 20-miler down to a 12.86 miler. 3 hours.

Really stunk. I have never felt cold to teh core, though adn that scared me. So, called it quits. Head nknows it was a wise move, but my heart feels like I failed. I know we'll be ok for marathon, though. We've put in some really tough miles.

Wendy - COngrats on teh 20-miler!

Dave - I hear you on the snow!

Jeff - Count me in on the croc envy!

Stacie - Way to go on your LR!!!

Duckie -

Goofy393 - Welcome! SOrry it took you this long to find us, but we'll be here next year. Hope we get to see you at the race!

Carrie - I totally understand where you are coming from. Saturday was insanely cold over here and I gave up 6 miles into my 9 miler. My gloves weren't thick enough and I thought my hands were going to fall off. That's just one of the downfalls of winter training so don't feel badly. Can I say I'm very impressed that you were out there for 3 hours

Jackie -

Wendy - Congrats on the 20 miler!

Jeff - Wow! That's a lot of Crocs

Stacey - WTG! I still have one more LR before I start my taper!

Stay warm today everyone!!

 

[wtpclc]

Vicky - Thanks! I know it's what I would tell others, but it's so hard to tell myself. Brrr...if your hands were that cold, sounds like it was good you called it quits too. Thanks for the reminder!

Jackie,

So sorry to here about Mystic. It's never easy. Hope that you have a wonderful Christmas, even though the house is quite without Mystic there.

 

[andromedaslove]

Hello everybody!! I just wanted to pop in and say hello!!I will be thinking of all of you during your upcoming race at WDW, and look forward to seeing you all next year when I finally go GOOFY! I miss you all so much, but I have started working this year and things have been really hectic. I miss talking to you guy so much. I hope you all have a wonderful race!!

 

[TXAng]

Just wanted to let everyone know that Mystic has crossed over the Rainbow Bridge and is in a much more peaceful place now. Me, not so much, but I'm coming around. Thanks for all your support - will be counting the days till marathon weekend and my "Happy Place!" After that, we'll be looking for the right dog who needs a home...

Jackie

Jackie, I'm so sorry to hear that!

 

[TnTsParty]

Jackie - so sorry for your loss. At least you have the marathon and WDW to think about in the next few weeks. Remember the good times you had with her and remember she is no longer in pain. from all your WISH team mates.

 

[chimera]

Oh Jackie...I am so sorry to hear about Mystic.

Dana...great to see you!

 

[jeanneg]

Jackie: so sorry for your loss.......I've been wondering about it all day and decided to check here to see if there was any news. How is Annie holding up?

 

[hockeygirl]

I just wanted to drop in and see how everyone is doing here on the weekly thread. I can't believe in just a few short weeks we will be back at WDW, I feel like we were just there for the marathon last year.

Jackie--Just wanted to drop in and say that I am very sorry to hear about Mystic. Hang in there!

Jeff--HOLY CROCS!!!! I am soooooo.. jealous!! I love my crocs, and I would have dropped a pretty penny if I was in Hawaii during that sale!!!

Goofy--Welcome to the team!!

I hope everyone enjoys the holidays!! For those training for WDW in Jan....hang in there..we are almost there!!!!!!!

 

[Kira G.]

Jackie - I'm so sorry about Mystic . It's so hard to lose a furry family member. I'll be thinking about you over the next few days.

Good Morning Everyone: Snow day here yesterday. I stayed home and worked from home, but that also consisted of going out to do some last minute Christmas shopping. I went for a run in the late afternoon when it warmed up to nearly 20 degrees. I put the "yaktrax" on my shoes, and did 3 loops around my neighborhood for 3.75 miles.

Jeff- I had to take some pictures for you. To contrast my running conditions with yours.

Here's my neighborhood...

I told my girls, DD7 and DD10 , that they could throw snowballs at me as looped past the house. This caused the neighbor boys to come over and join in.

OK, that's all for now.

Have a great day everyone.

 

[jmasgat]

Jackie I'm so sorry to hear about Mystic. I'm going to hug my dog, Buddy, just because.... (Although he's still a pain for grabbing part of last night's dinner in prep!)

Snow is over finally, and they still plow the roads really nicely here, so today or tomorrow I will attempt a run. Feel like my training is slipping away......

[lenshanem]

Jackie, I'm very sorry about your loss.

Dave, that is some snow! And here I am not wanting to go run cause it is just cold...

Jeff, now that is a Crocs sale!

Heads up to those of us not lucky enough to live in Hawaii, Crocs website has an outlet. Yesterday I bought three pairs of those mary janes with the Mickey holes for $14.99 a pair. (Getting them for our May trip!) No tax and use this code for free shipping -
audra2008 (You have to pick fedex 2 day for this to work.). They also have a ton of other styles in outlet, including the plain Mickey Crocs.

I have a sinus infection. Trying to gather myself up to at least run a short run. I'm supposed to run 12 on Friday. Doc called me in a prescription yesterday.

 

[Kristi1357]

Dave - the girls are getting so big!

Got in 6.3 miles yesterday. Since my training has been sporadic, I am feeling the swelling in my legs today. Not terrible though. I think I will live!

 

[Mouse Skywalker]

Dave - the girls are getting so big!

Hi Kristi- Yup, DD7 is even taller than DD10 now, and DD10 is not happy about that. Good job getting your 6.3 miles in. What's your leg swelling from?
